Be honest, you won't stop at just one anyways.

While I can’t fathom what possessed y’all to present the problem this way, the correct answer is that 1 dick 10 times gives you a lower chance of catching the aids than 10 dicks 1 time (for the 10 dicks 1 time each, use the binomial formula where the probability of the event is 0.188, which is 4% times 47%, and sum the probabilities for x=1, x=2, ..., x=10)



So end equation is (.04*.47)*10 for the ten dicks, and .04*(.47^10) for the one dick ten times then?

Ten dicks = 18.80% probability of catching the aids
one dick = .002% of catching the aids.

Thanks, I'll share the result.

Not exactly, no; your percentages are still way off. But the end result is correct, so feel free to share that at least.

Here’s the binomial distribution formula:

n is 10, p is .0188 (which is .04x.47), q is .9812 (which is 1-.0188). You need to calculate the value for x=1, x=2, x=3, all the way up to x=10, and then add those probabilities together. That’s your probability of contraction for 10 dicks once each. I’m not going to actually go through with calculating all 10 values, but I’m certain that the sum of them is greater than 0.04.

For 1 dick 10 times, the probability will converge to a value that’s almost exactly 0.04, so that gives you a lower probability.

Easiest solution is just to not do either though. Leave those aggie days behind you now that you’re on the way to the MBA

100% sucking one dick ten times

eta: to clarify- if you ever find yourself in such a situation (perhaps on A&M's campus, I don't know how you roll) suck the same dick ten times baw

Obviously, you came to the right place.

If you go with 10 guys, once each then that is 1.88% for each one, with a total 17.3% probability of getting AIDS.

If you go with 1 guy 10 times then the odds of getting AIDS is slightly less than 4%. 4% is the max because that's the odds that he has it. You could blow him 10,000 times and your cap will still be 4%.

My answer is don’t suck any dicks, period.
